I've walked most of the Appalachian Trail...its ups and downs are a lot like life. I love life, but EMT work has taught me that life is uncertain for us all. Let's talk about how to make the world work. There's lots of people who've got to live with what we leave behind.

Republicans Turn Over New Leaf!

"Obama is spending us into bankruptcy!" "The stimulus is full of pork!" Those are the cries of the republicans in the house of representatives. I guess they've got religion now that they're out of power. Perhaps we need a quick review of their performance - the performance of these same people during the six years they were in power with President Bush, 2000-2006.

In short, these guys set new records for pork and new records for increasing the national debt. Not just by a little, but by a lot!

These whores have no legs to stand on! Who cares how they voted on the stimulus!

Do you hear these facts on the national news? I don't. These people should be flayed in public, and I can't figure out why the media is letting them off the hook.

Do I love the stimulus package? I don't know. All I do know is that these republicans should have their mouths taped shut for at least two years. Maybe their other orifices as well...

I'm with Woozie. In fact, his sentence could be put onto each politician's picture, like the product warning labels. On a more serious note, it really is a pity that there does not seem to be even the option of a party that doesn't spend like drunken, lottery-winning sailors.
